Neuhaus Announces Hudson Valley AI Summit March 10 at Mount Saint Mary

Orange County Executive Steve Neuhaus announced a regional summit aimed at helping government, business and education leaders understand and harness artificial intelligence, saying the event will offer practical insights that can be applied immediately. The Hudson Valley Regional AI Summit is scheduled for Tuesday, March 10, 2026, from 9:00 a.m. to Noon at Mount Saint Mary College in Newburgh, according to the county announcement.

The half-day program, presented on the county’s event page, will feature a keynote address and three expert panel discussions focused on AI workforce transformation, AI-driven services and AI ethics. Neuhaus framed the initiative as a response to accelerating technological change: “AI is reshaping the future at an unprecedented pace,” said Neuhaus. He added that “this summit will bring key stakeholders in our region together to learn directly from experts ways to prepare Orange County and the Hudson Valley to lead in this new era of innovation.”

For Orange County and the Hudson Valley, the summit signals a push to align local public-sector planning, economic development and higher-education programs around emerging AI tools. Municipal administrators and school and college leaders stand to gain immediate strategic perspectives that could affect hiring, training, procurement and service delivery. Small-business owners and workforce-development organizations in Newburgh, Middletown and surrounding towns may also find sessions relevant as they adapt to automation and AI-driven customer services.

The county announcement highlights related multimedia efforts available on the executive’s page, including the Blueprint Orange video series and the NeuCast episode stream; social links for Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube and LinkedIn are displayed on the site with the event notice. The announcement page also included site navigation elements such as a prompt to “Create a Website Account - Manage notification subscriptions, save form progress and more” and an “Emergency Alert” header, indicating the event was posted within the county’s standard public communications framework.

Several important event details were not included in the published excerpts. The county did not list a keynote speaker or panelist names, nor did it provide an agenda breakdown, registration instructions, cost, capacity limits, or contact information for press or organizers. The referenced “Five reasons to attend the AI Summit” was noted on the page without the five items included in the posted text. Reporters and interested residents should seek the full event page or contact Mount Saint Mary College and Orange County administration for speaker bios, registration links, accessibility information and any livestream arrangements.

The announcement arrives as part of a broader public profile for Neuhaus; regional reporting has noted his recent opposition to a proposed Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility in Chester and his fourth-term status as county executive. For residents, the summit represents an early opportunity to influence how Orange County approaches AI in jobs, services and local governance; watch the county executive’s page for registration and speaker updates and plan to follow outcomes that could shape workforce programs and municipal technology policy.
